"Next in line is the sports car, the 911, and after this of course we will have the fully electric drive Mission E," says Porsche CFO Lutz Meschke.

So, what gives? Which will come first, the electric Mission E, or the hybrid 911?

We reached out to Porsche for clarification today. A spokesperson somewhat cryptically told us that "the future powertrain of the 911 is always in question." He then added: "The evidence of our future plans clearly points toward e-mobility."

So we can probably rather safely assume that the 991.2 platform has four years before it's time for a total revamp. That would put us at 2020 . . . right when the production Mission E is slated to come out. If you asked us to place a bet on when the hybrid 911 hits the market, we'd put our chip on 2020. If that's how it shakes out, it sounds like it'll be a big year for Porsche.
